IMPACT (‘Improving Adult Care Together’) is a UK-wide centre for implementing evidence in adult social care, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Health Foundation. IMPACT is an ‘implementation centre’, drawing on knowledge gained from different types of research, the lived experience of people who draw on services and their carers, and the practice knowledge of social care staff.

Its aims are to enable practical improvements on the ground, and make a crucial contribution to longer-term cultural change, by:

- Supporting more widespread use of evidence in adult social care, leading to better care practices, systems and outcomes for people who draw on care and support, their families and communities
- Building capacity and skills in the adult social care workforce to work with evidence of different kinds to innovate, improve care and deliver better outcomes
- Facilitating sustainable and productive relationships between the full range of adult social care stakeholders to co-create positive change/innovations and improve outcomes for people drawing on care and support and their families
- Improving understanding of the factors which help and hinder the implementation of evidence in practice, and using this to overcome longstanding barriers to positive change
- **Complete our mandatory additional information form. Applicants that do not complete the form will not be considered.**

**Description of Duties**
- Supported by IMPACT’s national Demonstrator lead, lead negotiation with the Demonstrator site regarding what support will be provided by IMPACT and how this will complement the local site’s responsibilities (the ‘contracting’ process)
- Guided by IMPACT’s national Demonstrator lead, review and synthesise the evidence on the topic in question
- Work with local stakeholders to design the change project and articulate a local ‘theory of change’ to help structure the project. [This will set out key features of the current context, the change process, expected outputs and outcomes, and the underlying assumptions of how change will be achieved]
- Facilitate the change project on the ground, bringing together key stakeholders from across the local site to design, deliver and sustain local change
- Ensure that the local site/service commits to the active and meaningful involvement of people whose voices are seldom heard and to co-production at all stages of the project, challenging and rectifying power imbalances where needed and working sensitively but courageously with issues of power, equality, diversity and inclusion
- Provide support to a local evaluator (identified by the site hosting the Demonstrator), who will lead an evaluation of what is possible to achieve by working in this way/or not, key contextual factors and key barriers/success factors, so that learning is generated and shared. [The role of the coaches is to support this local evaluation, not to carry out the evaluation themselves]
- Work with national policy and practice partners to embed lessons learned nationally (across all four nations of the UK)
- Be the main point of contact for IMPACT’s work with the Demonstrator site
- Have overall responsibility for co-ordinating the activity of IMPACT within the Demonstrator site, representing IMPACT and its values locally and nationally
- Act as a coach and role model in strategic improvement projects in adult social care through demonstrating excellent practice and, where appropriate, mentoring colleagues
- Contribute to the overall success of IMPACT through engaging with its wider activities and participating in sharing of learning and development opportunities

**Essential Criteria**
- An understanding of the factors that enable or prevent change in adult social care and how evidence can be used to increase likelihood of success
- Excellent presentation skills, both verbal and written, with an ability to communicate effectively with social care stakeholders including people drawing on care and support, carers, local communities, practitioners, managers, academics and policy makers
- High level of personal organisation and motivation
- Collaborative and flexible approach to work and excellent inter-personal skills
- An awareness of personal strengths and weaknesses in leading projects and an ability to work reflexively
- Ability to assess and organise resources effectively
- Experience of championing co-prod
